1. An electroplating system comprising:
a tank comprising an anode, wherein the tank is configured in a horizontal orientation having a length greater than its height;
a component part disposed within the tank and functioning as a cathode;
an electrical connection, coupled to the anode and cathode, for providing an electric current;
a current shield around the component part;
rollers positioned on top of the current shield to deflect the current shield downward to match any deflection of the component part; and
a supply line for delivering an electrolytic fluid to within the tank.
